The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has set new prudential norms, capping bank dividend payouts at 75% of Profit After Tax (PAT). This regulation aims to align profit distribution with banks' capital strength and regulatory compliance, effective from FY 2026-27. Banks must meet specific prudential conditions before declaring dividends.
This move may impact investor sentiment as banks adjust their dividend strategies in response to these tighter regulations.
